Acuna in LF at Fenway - great idea

Again what does Sam have to do to get some AB's vs a lefty??? Let the kid play

Okay Castillo, you can inspire a lot of man-crushes today...

Not have a .511 OPS against lefties

And he does get ABs against lefties. What do we have to do to get people to acknowledge that?

Braden has a .533 OPS and plays every game against them

He's also a switch hitter, which gives him an advantage against some LHPs.

Seems like Colson is going to be hitting in the five hole when a LHP is starting, as this isn’t the first time we’ve seen this of late. It’s the right move.

Also not surprised to see Braden dropped down to 8th - he’s really been struggling.

Acuna may be a surprise pick to click, he’s got a homer in his only at bat against Suarez.

I was surprised to see it already but based on Doyle’s last appearance, they already seem to have his hands up higher and his stance more upright. I figured they wouldn’t start tinkering with him at the plate for a couple of weeks.

Now it’s time to cross the fingers and hope he has a breakout game soon! 🤞🏼

Finally, it’s always a sad day in some regard when the starting lineup omits Sam. Even though he’s been beat up facing lefties, I just love that kid and always want him playing on my team.

It’s one of my few irrational biased when it comes to the team. 😆

LETS GO SOX!!!!

That really is unbelievable. Too bad we haven’t been able to add more space ahead of them… but if we take care of business back at home, we’re sitting pretty and can take a breath.

Sam and Peters are at the ready for any right hander that comes in.

Getting Peters back on track at the dish will be a huge boost for us in the dog days here… hope it happens.

Acuna hit a bomb in his only at bat against Suarez… it was a given he would be starting somewhere today.

He’s athletic enough to play left and man up in front of the green monster.

And I’m a Psycho Sammy Homer / Stan. 😆

Really??? So you want a guy (Acuna OPS of .555 in 2026) to have his first MLB start in LF at Fenway

I understand Sam's OPS vs lefties but he's not going to get any better hitting them riding the bench.

No Tadahitos is surprising to me.

I know it’s August. The Red Sox are beating everybody.

But man- it feel like a big game for us.
